On Christmas Night / Charles O’Conor Songtext
von Cherish the Ladies

On Christmas night all people sing,
To hear the news the angels bring;
On Christmas night all people sing,
To hear the news the angels bring:
News of great joy, news of great mirth,
News of our merciful King′s birth.


When sin departs before Thy grace,
Then life and health come in its place;
When sin departs before Thy grace,
Then life and health come in its place;
Angels and men with joy may sing,
All for to see the newborn King.

All out of darkness we have light
Which made the angels sing this night;
All out of darkness we have light
Which made the angels sing this night:
"Glory to God and peace to men,
Now and forevermore. Amen."


On Christmas night all people sing,
To hear the news the angels bring;
On Christmas night all people sing,
To hear the news the angels bring:
News of great joy, news of great mirth,
News of our merciful King's birth.
